You said: "According to the problem, there are 6 wings and no other animal has wings. So since chickens have 2 wings, there are THREE chickens.
Since chickens have 2 eyes and 2 legs, we can do 3 * 2 = Subtract 6 from 50 legs and 48 eyes
So we have 44 legs and 42 eyes.
Cats have 4 legs, so there must be 44/4 = 11 cats (fish have no legs)
11 cats * 2 = 22 eyes.
So 42-22 = 20 eyes left.
20 eyes, and fish have two eyes, so 22/10 = 2 fish.
The number of pets is 6 chickens + 11 cats + 2 fish = 19 animals. (do you see the error?)
The answer should be 24"
The right answer: There are 48 eyes, and that means there are 24 pets in total...
each animal has two eyes! 48/2=24!
What you got wrong: it is highlighted above. For the Fish, you said there are 20 eyes left and fish have two eyes, that is right, but later, you did 22/10 instead of 20/2. there are 10 fish. For the final answer, you said The number of pets is 6 chickens + 11 cats + 2 fish = 19 animals, but I believe you also said that there are 3 chickens---not 6. LOL. The right answer is: The number of pets is 3 chickens+11cats+10fish=24 animals. (you understand now?)
